Value of goods contributed - reporting requirements
Value of goods contributed — reporting requirements
The estimated value of goods contributed (e.g., canned goods, used clothing, gift certificates, gift cards, etc.)
cannot be reported as funds raised. Estimating the value of goods contributed
is not sufficiently valid to warrant using in place of actual funds raised. It
is much more accurate to report dollars raised.
If conducting an activity that is intended for supplemental funding from one
of the chapter care programs, only the cash proceeds (donated cash or money
raised selling donated items) can be supplemented.
